Every code in view, at once
Each code gets a box that stays on it as the camera moves. Every one is read and reported once, so a whole shelf takes a single sweep.
Now on npm: @reedscan/core 0.2
Capture the physical world, inside any web app.
ReedSCAN turns the cameras your teams and customers already carry into fast, accurate barcode capture. It's built into your own web platform, runs on the device, and needs nothing installed.
npm install @reedscan/core13barcode and 2D code types

1 MBdecoding engine, cached after the first load
Anymodern browser with a camera, phone or desktop
One capture engine for every workflow.
Single scans at a checkout, a shelf of labels at once, a pallet at the dock. The same SDK, configured for the job, inside the app your people already use.
Fast on the phones you already have
Decoding runs in background workers sized to the device, so the camera view stays smooth on an older Android as well as a new iPhone.
Rules before data reaches you
Limit symbologies and accept only values that match your format. Everything else is ignored at the camera.

See it on your own camera.
This is the production SDK, running in this page. Start the camera and show it a barcode or QR code, or point it at the labels at the top of the page.
Show it a QR code or a barcode.
Try it on your phone. Scan this with the phone's camera to open the page there, or hold it up to your webcam.

Capture runs entirely in your users' browsers, under your domain. Nothing about your operation passes through us.
Processed on the device
Camera frames are decoded in the browser. No picture or scanned value is sent to us, ever.
Offline license check
License keys are signed and verified in the browser. There's no license server to reach, and nothing to fail at 6 a.m.
Self-host everything
Serve the decoding engine and worker from your own domain, for intranets, air-gapped sites and private clouds.
Strict CSP support
Works under a Content Security Policy that blocks blob workers: point it at your own worker file.
No tracking
No analytics and no telemetry. The SDK makes no network request except to load its own engine.
No user accounts
Your users never sign up for anything. The key belongs to your domain, not to people.
Licensed per domain. Evaluate for free.
No per-scan metering and no per-device counting. Build and test without a key; license the domains you go live on.

- No watermark, no time limit, no scan limits
- Locked to your domains, for example acme.com and *.acme.com
- Checked offline: scanning never waits on a license server
- 14 days' grace after the end date, so a late renewal never stops a shift

Questions, answered.
Something else? Email us.
- Do my users need to install an app?
- No. ReedSCAN runs in the web browser your users already have, on Android, iPhone, iPad and computers. You add it to your own web app as a JavaScript package.
- Which barcodes does it read?
- QR Code, Data Matrix, Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8, UPC-E, PDF417, Aztec, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar and ITF. Pick the ones you need: fewer is faster.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Decoding happens on the device and the license key is checked in the browser. For sites with no internet access, serve the decoder file from your own server.
- Are camera pictures sent anywhere?
- No. Pictures and scanned values stay on the device. ReedSCAN doesn't call a server while it scans.
- Does it work with React, Vue or Angular?
- Yes. @reedscan/react is a ready-made React component. @reedscan/core works with any framework, or none: give it an element and a callback.
- Is it free?
- You can build and test with it free, with no key. Production use needs a license key for your domains. Without one, scanning stops after 60 seconds per page load.
